THIS PACKAGE ISN'T MAINTAINED ANYMORE

A trait to optionally abort a Laravel application

This package adds an OrAbort-trait to your Laravel project. You can use it for example to choose your abort code when a find-call returns false.

 $eloquentModel->findOrAbort($modelId, 500);

Install

You can install the package via composer:

$ composer require spatie/laravel-or-abort

Usage

You can use the Spatie\OrAbort\OrAbort-trait on any class you want. All the methods of the class will gain orAbort-variant. When the original function returns a falsy value Laravel's abort-function will be called with code 404.

Why in the world would you want use this trait?

If you use repositories you probably have written this kind of code:

$article = $articleRepository->find($articleId) ?: abort(404);

By using this trait on your repository you can write it a bit more readable:

$article = $articleRepository->findOrAbort($articleId);

You can even add an extra parameter to specify an abort code.

$article = $articleRepository->findOrAbort($articleId, 500);

If the find-function on your repository returns a falsy value abort(500) will be called.

A word to the wise

The orAbort-trait uses the magic method __call. If your class already implements that call, you shouldn't use our trait.
